Frequently Asked Questions

What is CAGR?

CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is the constant annual rate at which an investment would have grown if it compounded once a year. It is used to compare mutual funds, stocks, and businesses over different time periods.

How is CAGR calculated?

CAGR = (Ending Value / Beginning Value)^(1 / Years) − 1. For example, ₹1 lakh growing to ₹2 lakh in 5 years has a CAGR of about 14.87%.

Is CAGR the same as absolute return?

No. Absolute return is the total percentage gain over the full period. CAGR annualizes that growth so you can compare 3-year and 10-year investments fairly.
